Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Slides in, Snatches K9 Bundrage Shot?

[-Antonio-]

Bradley could probably beat K9 pretty easily. He should still go back down to WW after that though.

Bundrage actually isn't that much taller than Bradley, perhaps no more than an inch if that.

They're both 5'6"

With the welterweight division and 140 being as deep as they are i dont understand why TB is so hell bent on moving up to 154. He could have lucrative proving fights from 140-147

Bradley is still running from Khan I see.

Horrendous fight.

What the hell is going on

Arum is mad

Arum is mad

He has to make a fight for Bradley, regardless ....but yeah, this would be two birds with one stone if he pulls this off.

At the very least, he'd probably like to drive up Bundrage's price for Cotto.

Very curious to see what numbers Roc is showing Bundrage.

True but Bundrage has a much bigger frame and has acclimated his body to 154 for a while now. Bradley looked smaller than Diego Chaves, imagine how small he'd look against a natural 154 fighter. And you can't put on that much muscle in a training camp, it would be fat/water weight.

This is probably how Tim "Dessert" Storm Bradley would look at 154

Can't see any logical reaosn why K9 would choose Bradley over Cotto.

Maybe cash...... Money. Not certain though. Didn't ready the article.

Timothy Bradley, at one point of his career, was headed towards greatness. His biggest mistake was resigning with Arum. TR does not have the fighters at 140 and 147 for Tim to excel. So now, he is forced to move up in weight. He is now very limited. There is no shame in losing to Pacquioa, who is an all time great. But by moving up in weight, he will be taking losses to much lesser fighters simply because he lacks size and power. I think Tim was fighting for legacy when he 1st faced Manny, now he is strictly fighting for pay days.

If he would stay down at 147 and fight those guys, he has a very good chance at being the top guy at that weight. He has the skills, experience, and speed to beat guys like Thurman, Maidana, Guerrero, Brook, Porter, and Khan. With that type of resume, he would be a first ballot hall of famer. But, what does a win vs Bundrage truly mean??? Then where does he go after that??? I'm happy for him and his family. He has made great money fighting under TR, but his legacy will never reach its full potential fighting under their banner.
